Central heating is the norm in many homes in the UK. Whilst most are running well their energy cost-efficiency could be better with a few small-scale alterations to the dwellings heating system controls. Installation of a basic timer or a more complex heating system programmer will enable you to manage when the heating and the hot water are running. Fixing the periods when gas is actively being used will greatly cut your costs.
Adding room thermostats will assist you to maintain the temperature in the house without paying for energy to make it warmer than required. Once the correct temperature is reached the heating system is turned off trimming energy use. TRV valves can be supplied to each radiator to finely control individual room temperatures. This is helpful in keeping the bedrooms cooler than the main living room.
One of the primary causes of high fuel bills and a major source of energy inefficiency comes from old gas boilers. The typical life-time of a central heating boiler is 15 years. The energy efficiency ratings of new gas boilers shows that they are more economical. Condensing central heating boilers will use up to forty percent less gas. They extract heat from the exhaust system gases and use it to heat your water. You may also be lucky and qualify for a award to set up one of these new boilers.
